A Community-Focused Partnership:

Edward-Elmhurst Health and the C.W. Avery Family YMCA are committed to and invested in the health and wellness of residents living in the communities we serve.

With our combined vision and resources, our organizations formed a new health and wellness partnership in 2022 that brings enhanced programming to Plainfield and the surrounding communities, including:

• Opportunities for education, prevention, and screenings for early detection of health issues
• Shared wellness, nutrition, weight management, and senior wellness programming
• Expanded healthcare offerings
• An on-site Physical Therapy Clinic run by Edward-Elmhurst Health

About Edward-Elmhurst Health Physical Therapy
Located on the north side of the C.W. Avery Family YMCA, the Edward-Elmhurst Physical Therapy Clinic can be accessed through a separate entrance or through the Wellness Center (to the left of the weightlifting area).

Most commonly treated diagnoses include joint pain (hip, knee, shoulder), back and neck pain, sport injuries, post-operative care, and balance or gait disorders. Common treatments include joint/tissue mobilization and manipulation, strengthening, mobility and stability training, tool-based tissue manipulation, and blood-flow restriction for post-operative care.

The Edward-Elmhurst Physical Therapy Clinic also offers free orthopedic and sports screenings by appointment.

During your first appointment, our team will perform a thorough evaluation and develop a personalized care plan. Edward-Elmhurst’s therapists will also work closely with your care provider, employer, coaches, and trainers to make your overall care seamless and to keep you performing optimally.

Plainfield's Very Own YMCA

• In fall 1995, the Plainfield Area YMCA first began serving students in the Plainfield community through its before and after school program, which was held at four area elementary schools.
• As a result of a generous naming gift in January 2002, the YMCA was renamed the C.W. Avery Family YMCA in honor of the late Clyde Avery, his wife Judy and their family.
• In December 2002, the YMCA acquired 11.5 acres of property through a land-swap with Plainfield Community Consolidated School District 202 to be the future site of the C.W. Avery Family YMCA. The state-of-the-art and award-winning building opened its doors to the Plainfield community in 2006.
• The Cliff and Lois Berglund Family Aquatic Center opened in November 2008 after a successful capital campaign and a generous naming gift by the late Cliff and Lois Berglund.
• To better accommodate the fitness needs of its growing membership base, the Y expanded its Wellness Center in 2013, adding more space, new equipment and a redesigned aesthetic.
• The Y once again expanded its Wellness Center in 2018, adding more space, new equipment and a brighter, bolder design.
